劉曄字子揚，淮南成悳人，〈惪音德。〉漢光武子阜陵王延後也。父普，母脩，產渙及曄。渙九歲，曄七歲，而母病困。臨終，戒渙、曄以「普之侍人，有諂害之性。身死之後，懼必亂家。汝長大能除之，則吾無恨矣。」曄年十三，謂兄渙曰：「亡母之言，可以行矣。」渙曰：「那可爾！」曄即入室殺侍者，徑出拜墓。舍內大駕，白普。普怒，遣人追曄。曄還拜謝曰：「亡母顧命之言，敢受不請擅行之罰。」普心異之，遂不責也。汝南許劭名知人，避地揚州，稱曄有佐世之才。

Deeds
When Liu Ye was seven, his mother fell gravely ill and urged the brothers to be wary of Liu Pu’s attendant. She described the attendant as ingratiating and malicious, and feared that after her death he would cause trouble in the household (according to historical records).
When Liu Ye was thirteen, he decided he could act in accordance with his mother’s final instructions. He entered the room and killed the attendant, then went straight out to pay respects at his mother’s grave. On learning what had happened, Liu Pu sent people to pursue him. Liu Ye returned and apologized, but Liu Pu ultimately did not punish him.
